Synopsis
One book found in the Wisdom of the East series. Today, throughout Mohamedan and Parsi India and in Persia, three books are taught in the schools. The Book of the Gulistan, or Rose Garden, was finished when Sa'di was over sixty years old. It contains both prose and verse. Most often the prose tells the story and the verse points the moral; yet here and there the tale is in verse, and there are also many beautiful quatrains and couplets scattered throughout the book. The roses of Sa'di are very real, not merely heads bound upon artificial stems, but roses girt with all their thorns about them.
